Thank You!

Wow.

"Thank You" to everyone who made it out to our Opening Party! There were over 250 of you...we ran out of wine and cups and grab-bags faster than we could say "Ease on in"! We had a ton of fun, talked shop with everyone, and stood alongside you while ogling the wares of our fine artists and craftsmen. Couldn't have been better.

Elizabeth and I are currently juggling several custom projects and color consultations, and having some serious fun finding new pieces for the showroom. The latest additions are finely detailed ceramic jizo figurines crafted by a fellow who hails from a Buddhist Temple located in Clatskamie. Jizo are protectors of women, children, and travelers.

Our projects include a custom Teacher's Chair and Music Table for a violinist of the Oregon Symphony, a dining table made of reclaimed wood, a set of side tables, and a custom coffee table.

This week also brought us visits from Oregon Home Magazine, Portland Sugar, and Portland Picks. We must be doing something right!

A collaborative effort between Ease and local Photographer, Bryan Hoybrook, got under way at the start of the week, as well. A very congenial fellow with a great eye. Please take a look at his work sometime: http://www.bryanhoybook.com

Oh, I could go on and on...alas, I have dinner to make and Clash of the Titans to watch. A little relaxation is in order.
